But the only way it happens is if the A’s can’t find the power hitter(s) they want in free agency, and Cust doesn’t get the interest he hopes to find. Then you figure he would have to sign for right around his ’09 salary (at best). … I think the A’s are willing to shell out some cash — but they’re looking for a player who hits for a little higher average and offers a better glove.
